php in html

i have a quote php script that generates random quotes (the file is quote.php) . I want the quote to be in my main page(index.htm) ..that is i want to display the quote.php( which contains a single radomly generated code) in my home page in a corner.

So changing my index.htm to index.php doesnt affect my present contents in index.htm. i mean it is witten in HTMl and contains lot's of stuff..those stuff wud be intact if i change my index to php extension?

1] RENAME THE FILE TO, index.php
2] INSERT THIS CODE TO INCLUDE THE QUOTES: <?php include("quote.php"); ?>
3] CREATE FILE CALLED: .htaccess - INSIDE THE MAIN FOLDER OF THE WEBSITE
4] ADD THIS CODE TO THE .htaccess FILE:
ReWriteEngine On
ReWriteRule ^index.html$ index.php
5] UPLOAD AND ITS ALL DONE!

You can navigate to: www.yoursite.com/index.html
and the server will simply load the index.php file!!
But to the user, it will appear to just be the HTML file :)
easy done...
No need to change links anywhere.

To make sure other sites can still go to index.html, you can use mod_rewrite like neester said (which would only work on Apache servers), or you can set your server to accept .html files as PHP in your httpd.conf file (if Apache).
